that no one ever uttered the words Holiday or Holidays in December until recently. It's a lie. I've read a bunch of old newspapers, mostly from the 1890's but some were later. In December these old papers were chock full of ads and stories for Holiday sales, Holiday parties, Holiday parades, Holiday concerts, Holiday items, Holiday trips, Happy Holidays from XYZ store, etc. etc. etc.
